Segway Love

I recently took a Segway Tour in Chicago….I fell in love and not off the Segway. I want to own one…note to self add to lottery dreams list!

 

You watch a safety video and get fitted for your helmet before heading out for a quick lesson on how to use the machines. 20141011_112617I was a bit apprehensive at first as one the other riders was having trouble catching on (she did fine in the end until…I’ll get to that). I got the hang of it pretty quick surprising my daughter 1:17.

Shaky Start but ok after a minute.

then on through the Chicago Marathon setup…we were riding the day before the race; to the Field Museum,

And a brief rest and a Chicago Polish and no I did not “want that other sauce”.20141011_111116

Ketchup is frowned upon. I like mustard on my dogs so I was in good standing.

Great time had with the Best Daughter Ever!

 

Oh yeah what happened to the other rider…she almost fell when I abruptly exited my Segway. Sorry!

In the hands of the creator,

I've wondered about these, but my husband and mother said I would not be able to balance myself well on one of these since I have chronic vertigo. But it looks like fun and it looked like you were having fun! What's with those legs?!!! I guess I'll have to stick with my rolling walker with a seat, although it would be nice if it had a motor too! Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment on my blog! I'm sorry you didn't get one of my masterpieces (atc), but I was eyeing how you made yours. Reminds me of "serendipity paper." =0)

@Rushd Lady I love it so much I looked into buying one. They have 3 wheeled ones...when I hit the lottery...that would be the one I'd buy.

Yes Serendipity paper is just what this is. Everything old is new!
